Male. Figs 101-110

Dark brown, reddish-brown and pale yellow.

Reddish-brown - Mandible. Wing veins. Legs. Lateral terga and sterna. Apical lobes of the epipygium and anal hook.

Pale yellow – Most of the clypeus. Spot along the inner border of the eyes. One on the outer side of the mandible. Narrow lateral spots on the foreborder and postero dorsal

corner of the N 1. One spot on the postscutellar area. Spots on outer fore tibia, on the ventral forefemur, at the base of hind tibia. Spot on innere tegulae (the remainder transparent). Two weak lateral spots on 1 st tergum. Two lateral spot and median thin stripe on the apical border of 2 nd to 6 th terga and sterna: Transversal spot on 7 th tergum.

Head - Regularly and densely p. but around ocelli and Ssa which is vertically wrinkled. Mouthparts not well detectable, but not elongated at all. Tsa with a moderate but well distinct notch between them, in dorsal aspect too. Closed mandibular socket. PoG about as long as FoO, depressed relatively to the mandible condyle, the contiguous genal areas sloping down toward it. Basal three flagellomeri evenly covered by conical sensilla.

Mesosoma – Pronotal disk without keel on its fore border. Em 3 horizontally wrinkled. Veins M-a and Cu 1 -a of the fore wing reach its apical border. Fore tibial spur with a very short apex and inner concave profile. Velum of the basitarsal notch combed only on its outer third. Hind basal tarsomerus completely devoid of dense appressed hair but only with weak scattered bristles ventrally settled in one row.

Metasoma – Deep furrow severing declivitous tergal surface from sternal surface which is roughly sculptured. Strong gradulus on 2 nd tergum. Colpus on 3 rd to 6 th terga and 3 rd to 6 th sterna. Semicircular gradulus on the sides of 7 th tergum. 8 th sternum broadly enlarged basally.

Known only from the holotype.

Female unknown.
